I think we are coming ever closer to splitting the internet. In our lifetimes we may see an EU-style copyright & privacy-focused Internet; a medium-regulation US style internet; and a wild-west where deregulated states, newsletters and IPFS-a-likes defy all regulations.Permalink On twitter.com

How can global net neutrality work under such conditions? What occurs when Netflix-style companies don't consider charging you more for speed, instead they ask you to petition the gov't for regulatory change if you want speed?Permalink On twitter.com
